When I moved to Chicago, I wasn’t sure if it was going to be my forever home. In fact, throughout my first bit of time here I still considered it the Second City. I know my fellow Chicagoans would be appalled that I called our town that, but the dream of one day living in New York City still excited me and its luster hadn’t quite faded yet. As I got to know Chicago and found my place within it, however, I realized that it offers something I never thought I wanted from a home: a manageable pace. What’s great about Chicago is that it offers much of the same culture, art and fun that the Big Apple does without the overwhelming, go-go-go lifestyle. I really can’t see myself ever leaving.
It also doesn’t hurt that rent is much more affordable here than in NYC. With available modern construction and traditional Chicago greystones popping up constantly, it’s a place where young families can truly get their hands on a great home for over half the price. As I took a look back through our archives to put together this list of 10 of my favorite interiors in the city, I realized just how amazing some of our readers’ spaces are! Clearly they didn’t hesitate to pull the trigger when they saw opportunity knocking, and it paid off. From studios that were once storefronts, to lofts fit for work and play, each one is unique and proves that Chicago’s got style that’s second to none. I hope you enjoy taking a look at what I consider to be the best interiors my town has to offer! —Garrett
